Something has been keeping me busy for months! Yes, I have finally launched my first business venture Humming Words Publishers (HWP) . It’s my first company. It’s web based and helps authors in publishing their books through the self-publishing mode. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur, thus this firm.
Hope u’ll find it worth taking a look!
Cutting my long story short, actually I am missing my bicycle, my cute bicycle I rode for years. Now it is not here, it was sold off to kabadi-walla bhaiyya two years back (who gave it as a rakhi gift to his sister) because I did not have time and also, neither the traffic nor my mom allowed me to ride it as freely I used to. And I have also noticed that kids are no longer titillated by a bicycle but yearn for bikes. Boys long for bikes and consider themselves next only to John Abraham and gals prefer stylish scooty. Poor old cycle is out of fashion. Also, there is no cycling space left.
The roads are already congested and rash drivers are a menace. And the cyclists are considered by default to belong to the lower middle or poor class, and are expected to make way for the roaring automobiles. Kids no longer have time and the stamina as well to cycle.
I really miss my old cycle and still remember how I much elated I was the day I got it, how fondly I used to clean it every day and etc etc.

I would love to pass on the tag and award:
Yesterday I saw the latest movie ‘Wake Up Sid’ and I loved the character ‘Aisha Banerjee’ brilliantly played by Konkona Sen Sharma. It’s an impressive character and I can easily relate to the free spirited Aisha. Her innate sense of self confidence coupled with a subtle softness is mind blowing. I love that character, because I saw myself in Aisha somewhere.
But what I loved the most is her sense of independence when she roams about the entire city all by herself, on the third day of her arrival!
Wake up Sid is an amazing movie, not just because it’s made under a big banner or it has a good star cast, but it actually gives a lesson to the viewers. Why do we confine ourselves inside the self made walls? Sid, the delinquent son of a millionaire industrialist, takes up a career in photography and Aisha takes up writing i.e. both take up their hobbies as professions rather then the fields of their professional studies. That is exactly what I always advocate- we should go where our heart lies. Sid and Aisha finally get their rewards as their works are published in ‘Mumbai Beat’, the magazine they work for.
I am lost in darkness
It’s very scary
Like some silent moonless night
All My expressions are gone
My voice too is lost in your noise
My self is ashamed of itself
My heart refuses to beat
My soul is scorched like
The Sand punished in desert heat
I am washed in this darkness
Like some nasty rootless weed
And my thoughts are numb too
Like an eternal dormant seed
No one can be seen, no one can be heard
For miles and miles, all my life
I have walked alone, hoping for a ray
But life had given less than it has taken away
My hands reach for yours
Knowing you were never there
But, I am a human too
With feelings to share
Share joy with love endless to give
All our vows turned futile
All the love is gone
I am reduced to nothing
Being trapped in your exile
Scars and marks say my story
That I am lost in darkness
It’s very scary.
